Know What Is Healthy, What Needs Care & What Can Wait

Regular dental examinations help identify changes in your teeth, gums, bite and existing dental work before some problems become more difficult to manage. During your check-up, we review your dental and medical history, examine your mouth and explain the findings clearly so you understand what needs treatment, what can be monitored and when you should return.

Remove Plaque, Calculus & Surface Staining
TEETH CLEANING IN PHUKET

Remove Plaque, Calculus & Surface Staining

Even with regular brushing and interdental cleaning, hardened calculus can build up in areas that are difficult to clean at home. Professional scaling removes plaque and calculus from accessible tooth surfaces and around the gumline, while polishing helps smooth the teeth and remove many external stains. If your examination shows deeper gum pockets or periodontal disease, your dentist may recommend more extensive gum treatment rather than routine cleaning alone.

Repair Decay with a Natural-Looking Restoration
TOOTH-COLOURED FILLINGS IN PHUKET

Repair Decay with a Natural-Looking Restoration

Tooth-coloured composite fillings are used to repair selected cavities, small fractures and damaged areas while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as reasonably possible. Composite resin is bonded directly to the tooth and shaped to restore its natural contour, contact with neighbouring teeth and bite. For larger or structurally weakened teeth, an onlay or crown may provide more appropriate protection than a filling.

DENTAL X-RAYS & 3D CBCT IN PHUKET

See What a Visual Examination Cannot Show

Some dental conditions involve structures beneath the surface that cannot be fully assessed by visual examination alone. Digital dental X-rays provide focused two-dimensional information, while 3D CBCT imaging may be recommended when a clinical question requires additional information about teeth, roots, bone or surrounding anatomy. We select imaging according to the individual diagnostic need rather than using the same scan for every patient.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions our patients ask most before their general dentistry consultation.

There is no single recall interval that is right for everyone. How often you should be examined depends on factors such as your risk of tooth decay, gum health, medical history, previous dental treatment, oral-hygiene habits and symptoms. After your assessment, your dentist can recommend a recall schedule based on your individual needs.

Often, yes. If your examination shows that routine scaling and polishing is appropriate, the procedures may be completed during the same visit. Patients with deeper gum pockets, acute dental pain or more complex treatment needs may require a separate appointment or another type of dental treatment.

No. Scaling and polishing removes plaque, calculus and many external stains from tooth surfaces. Professional whitening uses whitening agents to lighten suitable natural tooth structure. If staining is mainly caused by surface deposits, professional cleaning may be recommended before considering whitening.

Composite resin is available in tooth-coloured shades and can be shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding tooth. The final appearance depends on the size and location of the restoration, remaining tooth structure, material selection and the natural characteristics of the tooth.

A filling may require assessment if it becomes fractured, loose, worn, painful or develops decay around its margins. Not every older filling needs replacement simply because of its age. Your dentist can examine the restoration and recommend repair, replacement or continued monitoring as appropriate.

Avoid chewing hard foods on the affected area, keep it clean and arrange a dental assessment. Seek prompt attention if you develop significant pain, swelling, trauma or sharp edges that are injuring your mouth. The appropriate treatment depends on how much healthy tooth structure remains.

No. Dental imaging should be selected according to your symptoms, oral-health history, disease risk, previous images and the information required for diagnosis or treatment planning. CBCT is generally used for selected situations where three-dimensional information may provide additional clinical value.

Conventional dental X-rays produce two-dimensional images and are commonly used to assess teeth, roots and surrounding bone. CBCT creates three-dimensional information and may be useful for selected implant, surgical, endodontic, orthodontic or other complex treatment-planning needs. Your dentist will determine which type of imaging is appropriate for the clinical question.

Dental imaging uses focused techniques and is prescribed only when the expected diagnostic benefit justifies it. The type and frequency depend on symptoms, age, disease risk and previous images. CBCT is not a routine scan; it is reserved for problems that need 3D information. Furthermore, patients are protected using Lead jackets to limit the exposure of radiation.

Often, yes. If the examination shows healthy or mildly inflamed gums, cleaning may follow in the same appointment. Deep gum pockets, acute pain or extensive treatment needs can require a separate visit and a more focused plan.

Yes. Visitors to Phuket can arrange appointments for dental examinations, professional cleaning, fillings and assessment of other dental concerns. If you have limited time in Phuket, tell our team your departure date when booking so that treatment can be planned appropriately.

Yes. Tharish Dental Clinic is located in Sakhu, Thalang, near Phuket International Airport and Nai Yang, providing general dental services for residents, expats and visitors in North Phuket.
